What is a database?

A database is a huge online library of journal articles. Databases can be subject specific (e.g. provide articles only from religious journals) or they can be more general. Some journal databses also include conference papers, book chapters, reports, books, dissertations and other types of information.

PrimoSearch is a good place to start as it searches through everything the library holds PLUS the articles from most databases. But it doesn't search all the databases. To do a thorough search you may need to go to a specific database.
